Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud services sized to how your business runs

Most small businesses don’t need more cloud than they have. They need the right amount, set up so that someone understands it. I size cloud environments to the work you actually do, not to a template written for a company fifty times your size, so you aren’t paying for capacity you’ll never touch.

What I do

• Plan and carry out the move — off an old server in the back room, or from one provider to another, in stages and outside your business hours, so nothing goes dark mid-shift.
• Leave room to grow — set up for the people and traffic you have today, with a clear way to add capacity later instead of buying it all up front.
• Make the bill readable — a monthly cloud cost you can follow, with alerts before a runaway process turns into a surprise.
• Backups you can restore from — automatic backups, and a recovery plan that has actually been tried.

Who it’s for

Businesses still running on aging hardware in a closet, or already in the cloud and paying for things nobody has looked at since the day they were set up. If your last cloud bill made you wince, the environment was probably built once and never revisited.

How I start

With a short review of what you run, and where the cost and the risk sit, before I recommend changing anything. Often the fix is smaller than a full migration, and when it is, that’s what I’ll suggest.
